IMPROVEMENT lN CHURNS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 167,500, dated September 7, 1875; application filed March 7, 1874.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES F. 00E, of Zaleski, in the, county of Vinton and State of Ohio, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Ohurns; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawingis a representation of a sectional view of my churn. Fig. 2 is a detail view of the same.

This invention has relation to churns having vertically-reciprocating dashers; and it consists in two alternately-reciprocating dasher-rods, actuated by a single lever, and constructed with semicircular concavo-convex dashers, which will violently agitate and beat the cream, when a rapid vertical motion is given to them, as will be hereinafter explained.

The following is a description of my improvement:

In the annexed drawings, A designates a standard O and through the center of the cover B, and which are connected to a vertically-vibrating lever, E, on opposite sides of its fulcrum, by'means of .rods or links a a.

Lever E is slotted to receive through it the standard 0, and this lever has its fulcrum on this standard. Inside of the churn-box A each dash-rod D has a number of semicircular dashers, g, formed on or secured to it, the upper surfaces of which are convex, and their lower surfaces are concave, as shown at b in both figures of the drawings. When the lever E is vibrated the rods D D, with their peculiarshaped dashers g, alternate with each other in their vertical movementsthat is to say, as

one set of dashers descend the other set rise.

The efi'ect of thesemovements is to violently dash the cream first toward the right-hand side of the churn-box and then toward the left, owing to the concavities in the bottoms of the dashers; and as each set of dashers are raised their convex surfaces throw the JAMES FOSTER 60E. Witnesses:
